    I have now about 75 rounds through this SW 380 bodyguard and noticed today after the end of a few clips (only 6+1 straight stack) that it had an odd "sputtering" effect in the lower twist pit of the barrel. Please 'excuse the terminology, I think the photo speaks for itself. The other areas around the barrel had a clean and consistent look. Is this what I should expect? I was shooting Winchester 380 ammo. Have been since I been breaking her in "new" from BPS that showed someone else got a few boxes threw it. So perhaps its' more like 150 to 175 rounds. Probably normal right?

    If he's the type to get offended and run off then we wouldn't want him here in the first place!

    LOL, yeah true, I would'nt be worth crap. tuck n run? HAH, those that know me might argue that. I have to admit, I've never been professionaly shot at, but I really respect those that have. Today someone said "...your mom slapped the clip in and pulled to load the 22 pistol." He's 75 and my mom's new boyfriend, so I didn't correct him. I respect him if my mom can put up with him. She's out of her 4th marriage but I like this guy. He's from Connecticut. Has "dat pak da KAAa n dah yad" boston accent a bit, so it's entertaining. :)

    Please tell me that's photoshopped. Otherwise I can't think of any use for those except maybe sexual perversion, inquisitions, and certain government agencies :)

    Not photoshopped. I picked up those "clips" just to make picture just for laughs.

    I never considered the options you mentioned. Now I am in a quandary, should I be worried about you, or myself!!!!!:confused:
